NES Classic’s wired controller is too short — MyArcade has a wireless solution

Nintendo is getting ready to capitalize on your nostalgia with the launch of the NES Classic Edition console. That device is a miniature version of the original 8-bit console, and it comes with 30 NES games. But you may find out that this throwback device doesn’t live up to your modern-gaming standards, which is why peripheral makers are already stepping up to serve your needs.

MyArcade, a retro-gaming accessory manufacturer, is rolling out a line of NES Classic products to solve one of the problems most people are likely to encounter: the NES Classic controller’s cord length. The cable for the gamepad is only about 36 inches long, and that’s going to force most people to have to sit on their floor to play their games. Now, I know that’s reminiscent of what my life playing NES was like back in 1989, but I’m 33 now, and my left knee is bad.
